Can't Hold Me Down

I want to be / who I want to be
Can't worry about / what they think of me
I look inside / to who I'm meant to be
This is my chance / my opportunity
Make no assumptions / just to be clear
Learning the facts / no judgement here
To make the right choices / and fight to be free
I read through the lines / so that I can see
Educate yourself / so you won't believe
Social Lies on the media / thinking that it's real
People assume / you don't have a choice
Do your own thing in life
Make reality / based on what you feel
One life to live / No turning here
Knowledge is the key / to live life right
The more you open your eyes

Can't hold me down, hold me down
Can't hold me down, hold me down
Can't hold me down, hold me down
Gotta hit the ground, gotta hit the ground running

Back to the day / when I was a youth
Care-free lifestyle / Always spoke the truth
Couldn't stop me / and could never hold me down
Living for the moment / feet barely on the ground

What happened to those times? / Did everything change?
Evil life style / always caught up in the game
Was it the simple fact / too wise to learn
To survive in this world

Feeling like a victim / everyone's to blame
Drop bad habits / might be time for a change
Become a better person / and find a better way
Be a role model / live righteously

Now I stand up / on my own two feet
Looking in the mirror and proud of what I see
Give to the people / might be time to teach
Any Moment / you can choose to speak

Can't hold me down, hold me down
Can't hold me down, hold me down
Can't hold me down, hold me down
Gotta hit the ground, gotta hit the ground running
Can't hold me down, hold me down
Can't hold me down, hold me down
Can't hold me down, hold me down
Gotta hit the ground, gotta hit the ground running
